About to fall down another rabbit hole, supersonic only...to start....

Fun cartridge. In my opinion one of the easiest to load for accuracy. Subs can be an education depending on your firearm.

I love my 16" rifle for fun and giggles whether using supers or subs suppressed.

I'm working on a 10.5" build currently, still waiting on a few parts to complete it all. But will have some initial test loads done up and ready to go when it all comes together.

You gotta have one to have one of everything but I haven't found mine to be able to do anything better than some other round I have AR's chambered for.

That's basically it exactly - gotta see what the fuss is about, if I like it I'll keep it and if not move on. But yes gotta try it out first

The 125 TNT is my favorite for supers. H110 or 300 MP are very close to perfect for that bullet. I run mine at 18.3 gr of H110, 2.060 OAL. My 10.5" pistol and RARR both run this load nicely.

Good to hear - I was looking for the SMK's in particular and when the store had those TNT's there also, figured I'd give them a try. Thanks for the load info too!

I have an 8.5" BO pistol. I REALLY enjoy shooting it. Especially subsonic!

I also have a 7.5" 5.56 pistol. It's still fun to shoot, but not as much as the BO.

After I burn up he rest of my 5.56 ammo, the barrel should be ready to be replaced. I found a good deal on a 10.5" barrel and have it ready to install.
